Hi all,

I changed from the Oracol tape to conform and much prefer it. Apart from the extra cost that is. But it does lay much flatter and stays there too.

I bought 2 logs of perfectear from grafityp a while back, tears a little too easy when masking tape is pulled off it and seems to crease easy, but its ok once you get used to it, I also use oracal clear.

Hi Gary,
have you tried it layed up for a period of time?

I have some here that has been rolled up since the end of June. Still absolutely fine. I do apply it with the eazytaper though which I think helps too.For the price difference I`d get a roll in and try it.
Cheers

I have just switched from perfect tear to Oracal tape. . I really like the fact the oracal stuff is quite stretchy when laying down over vinyl. .. seems to go down really flat. I remember last year having some stuff from victory as it was on offer, it was horrendous ! It Wouldn’t lift the cut vinyl from the backing paper, I ended up putting two logs in the bin.

Dave, should have put them in my bin, I use Victory’s Unitac paper application tape all the time and have no problems with it at all.

I also used Victory’s Unitac and also had problems with it, it was horrible. I now only use Oracal tape and find it really nice but only can compare to Unitac as haven’t used any others. I heard Conform was very nice and might try it in the near future just for a comparison.
cheers

We usually use Conform, and have no problems with it. Tried an Avery one
today, and that was OK too. -
I have used Conform by R Tape since day one.

Conform R 4075 here……….as per Jill since day 1.
On info from the kind soles on here 😀

R4075 used here too. Never really tried anything else because I’ve not had the need!
-
You’re all kidding right? I find conform horrendous. Too flimsy, glue isn’t pressure sensitive, creates static, loads of creases if trying to cover large areas of solid vinyl etc.
-
If Conform is the layflat stuff I found the same as Jon. It must be me as I have no problem with Unitac at all.

I have been using the Oracal for ages and have just got in some of the clear. Will be trying it this weekend

I currently use both Oracle paper and clear – I am happy with it, although graphics that have been layed up and left for a week tend to lift on edges from backing paper.
I also use the metamark clear now and again!!
I have a 100mm role of conform 4075 to try!!
